East Coast low is off Bermagui

 An East Coast low is off Bermagui this evening and the fishing fleet is in Bermagui harbour after landing a very good tuna catch.

One shot pulled in 360 tuna of average weight of 40 kg. More than half of these are off to Japan for the Saturday morning market.

The wind is strong (up to 50 knots at Montague Island this evening) and the swell is predicted to be up to 5 m so if you own a vessel stay at home for the next few days. Then think of the crew - mostly foreign nationals going out in the cold wet and dangerous sea to keep our economy going.
